“I think the thing that makes our cast so good,” co-creator Mike Schur said, “is they all have very different points of view comedically. There are the improvisers, Amy Poehler and Aubrey Plaza, and then Aziz Ansari is a stand-up, and then Chris Pratt is this lumbering comedy Great Dane. Everyone has their own superpower.”

“It’s hard to be vulnerable, but it’s very important in comedy,” Amy said. “It can’t be something you tag on at the end with a musical montage. You have to earn it.”
